Tuesday’s charges were nothing more than “political prosecution,” the former president told a crowd of his die-hard fans and allies at Bedminster.
BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night promised to appoint a special counsel to investigate his successor, attacking President Joe Biden for what he called “destroying the country” only hours after hisTrump vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the Biden family, which prompted cheers and chants of “lock him up!” from the audience.
Trump also hinted at what his defense might look like, claiming that photos included in the indictment — which show boxes stored in a bathroom and on a stage — were “staged,” and saying some of the boxes held memorabilia, not documents. Trump’s lawyers reviewed his speech, a person familiar with the matter said.
The former president opened his remarks with familiar attacks on Biden and the Justice Department while maintaining that he did nothing wrong in stashing boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate, after leaving the White House at the end of his term. There was MyPillow CEO and election conspiracist Mike Lindell; Bernie Kerik, the former NYPD commissioner who was pardoned by Trump; conservative radio host and former White House official Sebastian Gorka; and Kash Patel, a Trump loyalist and former senior administration official. Dozens of Vietnamese American supporters of Trump wore matching red dresses with “Save America” emblazoned across the front, and they posed for photos in front of the clubhouse at his New Jersey golf club.
